This paper analyses the social conditions of emergence of cancer politics in France in the inter-war period. It examines the historical circumstances whereby various segments of the dominant class - surgeons, "scientist" doctors, philanthropists - and "society ladies" concurred to create and "anti-cancer movement" and to found a new discipline, i.e., cancerology, as well as a novel form of organizing medical care, i.e., cancer-centres. It then examines the process of construction of a representation of cancer as a scourge disease, combining elements of medical, scientific and lay discourses.
本文分析了两次世界大战期间法国癌症政治出现的社会状况。它考察了这样的历史背景:统治阶级的不同阶层——外科医生、“科学家”医生、慈善家以及“社交名媛”——共同促成了一场“抗癌运动”,创立了一门新学科,即癌症学,以及一种新的医疗组织形式,即癌症中心。接着,本文考察了将癌症描绘成一种灾难性疾病的建构过程,这一过程融合了医学、科学和通俗话语的元素。
